Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.
Closes:#768038.

22. By Ian Jackson on 2014-08-19

Bugfixes:
* Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
* Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
  Closes:#736524.
* Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
  to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
* Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
  Closes:#752602.
* Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
  re-retreive the .dsc.
* Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
  rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
  Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
* Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
  HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
  the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.

Minor improvements:
* Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
* Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
* Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
  if incompatible.
* New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
* Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
  message instead. Closes:#736526.
* Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
* Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
  host. Closes:#736529.
* Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
* Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
  regression test scripts to use.
* Print better message for unknown operations.
* Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
* When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
  (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
  Closes:#740721.
* Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
  using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
* Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
* Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
* In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
  subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
* Fixed a manpage typo.
* When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
  dgit rather than system one.
* Add a test for dgit rpush.

Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
* dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
  pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
  used by default for any distro.
* Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
  the push of the suite branch ref.
* New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
* test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

21. By Ian Jackson on 2014-01-19

Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
* Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
  this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
  with all the building methods.
* Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
  build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.

Error message improvements:
* Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
* failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
  in the error message, to be its child.
* Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.

Better workflow flexibility:
* Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
  for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.

Support for Debian backports suites:
* New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
  for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
* Use correct default archive location.
* Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
* Closes:#733954.

Packaging improvement:
* Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
  the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
  warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

20. By Ian Jackson on 2013-12-21

Use newest (not oldest) version currently in suite when calculating
what value to use for -v<version> by default. Closes:#732781.

19. By Ian Jackson on 2013-11-27

Testing facilities:
* Provide "test-dummy" distro with "dummycat" access method.
* Provide a selection of autopkgtest (DEP-8) tests.

18. By Ian Jackson on 2013-11-24

Bump archive upload urgency to high.

17. By Ian Jackson on 2013-11-24

Bugfixes:
* sshpsql archive query method passes LANG=C. Closes:#729788.
* Subcommand program or argument options containing hyphens work.
  (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)

Packaging fixes:
* Depend on dput.
* Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,
  which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works
  without.)

16. By Ian Jackson on 2013-11-09

Major new feature:
* Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.

Improved behaviours:
* dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
  -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
* Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
  (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
  database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
  schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
* When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
  Distribution field as the suite.
* Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.

Other new features:
* Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
* Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.

Bugfixes:
* When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
  order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
  not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
* push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
  Closes:#727125.
* Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
* Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
  have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.

Documentation and message fixes:
* manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
* manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
  for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
* manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
  default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
* Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
  Closes:#725632.

Internal and debugging improvements:
* Report chdir actions in debugging output.
* Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
* Some code motion and cleanups.

Note: changelog entries for the following versions, which were uploaded
to Debian experimental, have been collapsed into this single entry:
  0.18~experimental2 0.18~experimental1
  0.17~experimental7 0.17~experimental6 0.17~experimental5
  0.17~experimental4 0.17~experimental3 0.17~experimental2
  0.17~experimental1
  0.16~experimental3 0.16~experimental2 0.16~experimental1
We do describe here all the changes since 0.17.

15. By Ian Jackson on 2013-11-07

* Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
  This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
* Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

14. By Ian Jackson on 2013-10-22

* Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
  in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
* Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
  etc. output when stdout is redirected.
* New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.
